Of course any day can be different but we got off the van at 11:00 and sat down in the WJ at 11:20. The lines just kept moving. :D

Thanks. We are staying at the Hampton Inn Convention Center - how far is that from the port, if you know?

better to arrive early and possibly wait in a short line vs getting their around noon and wating in a long line...have been on 18 cruises and 14 with rccl...each time between 10:30 and 11:00 at the pier...like clock work...alwasy on ship in WJ for lunch just before or after noon...in you room by 1/1:30...poolside by 2-4 before fire muster...don't forget to bring a carry on with all of the items that you may need prior to dinner...i hate to see folks walking on pool deck in heavy boots...jeans and flannel shirts...just perfect for 80 degrees and sitting in the sun...bring the bathing suit...the sun tan lotion,...sun glasses...hat...shorts...t-shirt...the dinning room is very very relaxed that first night...not much you can do if the bags have not come to your cabin yet...
